    Summary

    Dear Readers, how do you tell a love story where the people already made each other better - and then were torn apart? What do you do when the most formative version of yourself was forged in the absence of the person who made you feel whole? / or, the arena, the pit, has always been remembered.

    Summary

    Eurydice finds her Orpheus, but the Fates have different plans for her this time around. Things don't quite click, and a premature death sends her spiraling in an unexpected direction.

    An original story based loosely on Hadestown. Think of Hadestown atmosphere with BBC Merlin-esque characters. In this story, Greek mythology is whatever I say it is.

    Summary

    I don't know who I am. I don't know where I am, or where I'm from. All I know is that there are people who are trying to kill me, and God keeps sending me love letters.

    ⋆✧⋆

    Sapphire Jones died in the arena of the 66th Hunger Games. Her life should have been over, but 5 minutes later, she woke up in a hovercraft with no memory of her life before the games.

    Thrown back into the arena with no clue as to what is going on, Sapphire must rely on her ruthless district partner and her asshat of a mentor to make it out of the arena alive. But as more cryptic messages keep appearing and the bodies start piling up, one question begins to haunt Sapphire: Is she fighting to survive, or was she never meant to get a second chance?

    Summary

    The world shifts with the downward compression on that chest as he counts the rhythm—

    Alongside the disappearance of everything. The screaming, the lightning—gone. Only black.

    But worse: there’s no body under his hands. His heart chokes him, merciless—then he sees it.

    Not the body he’d been saving, but a body. In a hospital gown. Hair shaved. Young.

    “Who are you?” He asks, but it’s…pretty obvious.

    “I am Seven. Lucky, isn’t it?”

    See: obvious.

    Fucking maddening, but obvious.

    Wherein Steve makes a bet with a game-obsessed semi-sociopathic test subject who promises to heal Eddie (and reveals he and Steve might be destined to mean everything to each other, which: what the fuck?)—on two conditions.

    No one can know Eddie’s alive. And Steve can’t be seen mourning a loss that isn’t real.

    Cue all the Party™ drama, gut-wrenching confessions into the ether (?), existential breakdowns, mirror-based sexing communication, deals maybe/maybe-not upheld, and all the undying-star-crossed-hope you’d expect from striking a bargain in the Upside Down for the survival of the quite-possible love of your life.

    Summary

    The saviors of Vaugarde have to go defeat the King with one missing party member. Luckily, someone is there to help them. There’s a catch though: their guide can't look back to make sure they’re following.

    (Yes, this is an Orpheus and Eurydice retelling)

    Summary

    "The Gods love you but not enough to save you."

    Sarah Willoughby, a daughter of Hades, who had survived the Salem Witch Trials and so much more had spent three centuries with Lady Artemis. For a Demigod of her status, she’s lived a relatively happy, peaceful life save for three terrible occasions. Each beginning due to some God or Goddess creating a terrible mess. Each time, Sarah found herself torn from her home and forced to clean up the mess but she would always return to her happy life at Lady Artemis’ side.

    Now, with ancient beings stirring and the threat of war looming over her world, Sarah’s peaceful existence is shattered yet again. Although, she is a far cry from being at the centre of it, the sword of Damocles still swings precariously over her head. For she is a hero that had been happy for far too long. Perhaps after three centuries of living a relatively joyful life for a Demigod, it’s time for Sarah Willoughby to sacrifice something.

    Summary

    "See, Elphie? Isn't this fun?" Galinda teased.

    "What? Listening to the entire student body dance around us like the hedonistic heathens and hooligans they are?" the green girl deadpanned, smirking. Although, it beat Galinda trying to suggest couples costumes!

    Summary

    It would be so easy to turn around. Euijoo has had this thought for a while now, ever since he realized that it's hopeless, that there's no way out of this cycle. It would be so easy to turn around and finally embrace Nicholas after all this time, even if it meant damning him— hasn't he been damned already? Euijoo has played by the rules over and over, and each time Nicholas is dragged back into the depths of the cave anyway; it has become clear that Euijoo cannot save him.

    Summary

    James kissed him for the first time in the rain, outside a library they’d both been kicked out of for arguing too loudly over Nietzsche. Regulus had ink on his fingers and water in his hair. James didn’t care.

    Surprisingly, the world didn’t end then. That came later.

    Summary

    Still standing, Shen Jiu rested his forehead against the stone column. He closed his eyes, though it did little against the stubborn tears clinging to his eyelids. Throughout all of the beast's torture, he didn't cry. Throughout most of his life, he didn't cry, and those few times he did were fake, the con he pulled with Qi-ge to earn some food in their bellies.

    And yet here, now, when faced with something as small as taking a bit longer leaving the prison...

    "It's cold and I'm tired and-" he whispered, more to himself than to Qi-ge. "Please, just let Xiao Jiu leave."

    Summary

    “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune is dangerous only once he learns how to weaponize it.”

    When the naive, awkward daughter of a barber-surgeon strikes an unlikely friendship with the notoriously disagreeable Lord Beckett during her time aboard the HMS Endeavour, her tale darkens as she’s suddenly drawn deeper into his world of ambition and betrayal.

    **

    Starts off pre TCBP, and ends AWE.
    Follows the events from The Price of Freedom with an eventual, adult-oriented twist.
    Partial Cutler Beckett backstory, partial coming-of-age trope for an 18th century woman.
    A healthy dose of Pride & Prejudice references.

    Summary

    Джисон бродит по этим лесам на протяжении бесчисленных лун, но сегодня ночью что-то меняется. Что-то крадется в темноте между деревьев, прячась от взгляда. Что-то, что ждало его, изнывая от тоски и жажды.

    От голода.

    «Что бы ты ни делал, не оглядывайся».

    Summary

    A soul for a soul is a fair trade, but the God of the Dead isn't known to give up any of the souls he collects, no matter the deal.
    Except that, this time, he did.
    And now Sakura is stuck in the Underworld, somehow alive but with no means to go back home. Not sure if he would even want to go back in the first place. Between adapting to a realm that is not his own, bonding with the spirits that inhabit it and navigating too awkward meals with the God that reigns over it, he honestly has his hands full.
    So of course that it couldn't be just that, could it?
